16. One of my prize possessions, no question.

I have the usual photos of me and Clinton, me and Obama, and age 11, there wouldn't have been a whole hell of a lot I would have known to say to a president JFK anyway. But even so, not a hell of a lot normal mortals left that can boast one of these in their living room!

My dad and Bobby, Sr. got to be fairly close a few years later, but he never really got to know JFK. One of our family friends (and close colleague of my father), on the other hand, knew JFK really well, and I REALLY regret not pumping her for more stories. My brother and I used to go out to dinner with her at least twice a year right up until she passed away at age 93 (4 years ago). She was tiny, but terrorized all presidents from JFK to Obama at press briefings. Bush Jr. feared her more than he feared the Taliban.
